O Lord, in whom is our hope, we confess to you our sins and seek forgiveness which only you can grant. Remove far from us, we pray, empty hopes and any presumptuous confidence. Make our hearts right with your most holy and loving heart, that hoping in you, we may steadfastly do good, until that day when faith and hope shall be abolished by sight and possession, and your love shall be all in all…

Thanks be to God!

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
